We’re excited to announce a very special guest for our Duck Race on Sunday 14th June! 🦆🎉

Joining us on the day will be Phil Dowson, Director of Rugby at Northampton Saints RFC, who will be helping to announce our Duck Race winners! 🏉

Phil had an outstanding playing career as a back-row forward, representing clubs including Newcastle Falcons and Northampton Saints, and earning international honours with England and the British & Irish Lions. Since retiring, he has gone on to lead Northampton Saints as Director of Rugby, continuing his impact on the game off the pitch.

Phil has also very kindly donated a signed Saints rugby shirt and a signed Saints rugby ball 🤩

To be in with a chance of winning these fantastic prizes, make sure you enter our Squares Raffle on the day – squares are just £5, but be quick… they’ll go fast!

Don’t miss it – we can’t wait to see you there! 🙌
